Favorite Movies

Don't you just hate it when you read a book and the pictures of characters form in your head and then you watch the movie and you can't remember the wonderful characters you imagined anymore-just the actors faces?!

yeah! i know! but i guess its ok if the actor does a REALLY good job and he or she is exactly how you pictured them... like in the Golden Compass movie Nicole Kidman made a REALLY good Mrs. Coulter... exactly how i pictured her...plus she has an ability to play evil people... but that may just be my jealous opinion...Jealous b/c of Moulin Rouge... Ewan stealer! ...ahem, OK... but yeah it really is annoying! so when they make Pellinor into movies(not sure if they will) and they mess the people up... i may kill myself with a plastic knife (just kidding of course... it just came across to me as a dramatic death) 'specially if they mess up Cadvan...!!!

I totally agree about Mrs. Coulter. She was absolutely perfect. She had the scary beauty about her. I was amazed. But I totally know what you guys mean about losing your original image. For Harry Potter that happened, but it is weird. Only on scenes they did in the movie, but otherwise it is my original image.

A club for people who don't know what to read next, and have a super long list of books to read.

So, I watched Superbad last night.

It was super bad.

don't watch it.

it will be a waste of your time.

so obviously it isn't one of my favorite movies...

That sounds like a great club! Although right now, I'm trying not to read my new books. I sorta need to stick with Harry Potter so that I don't get too addicted. I have a big marking period exam on wednesday that is two essays, 20 multiple choice, and 20 matching questions in 2 hours. I am so nervous!

yikes!

but 40 questions in 2 hours doesn't seem too bad...how come they are giving you so much time?

40 questions plus the two essays all in two hours, but my teacher was absent today so the test got moved to Friday. Now I get more time to study, but also more time to worry.

I just had to take my AP English exam...

65 questions, 5 essays, all in an hour thirty....

talk about stressful!!

how has the worrying been going?

65 questions and 5 essays in an hour and a half!!!!!! How is that even physically possible?!

The worrying turned out not to be to bad. We had a quiz on thursday and I only missed two questions which is significantly better than 16, and 10 i missed on the previous two quizzes so that totally boosted my confidence, and we didn't get too much homework this week so i had a pretty good amount of time to study. also I did this SAT prep thing on tuesday and we wrote a diagnostic essay, and I did mine in like 45 min which is what we for each essay on the exam, so I felt better about that part too. then i went to sleep pretty early last night and by the morning, i was really energized and practically excited to take the test. then we got to class and wasn't nearly as hard as I was expecting it to be so i was totally juiced. Then after that my friend drove us to go get some lunch, and it was really fun cause it was the first time we've done something like that. Oh and I got a B on my descriptive geometry quiz that I thought I failed. Then we didn't have time to our spanish presentation, and swimming was really easy/relaxing. I just had such an awesome day I can't stand it! OK i'm done now!

aww, that is good!

I wish my days were great.

they are always "meh" if you know what I mean.

for the most part me too. this was a really rare occurence, but it felt so great.

I am still waiting for that great day...
